Kříďák – Tudor C. J. (2018)

We all have secrets. Some we run from, but they find us. And some games always end the same way… The mysterious thriller The Chalk Man is here – and there’s no escaping it. You feel it in the woods, at school, and on the playground; you feel it in the houses and at the amusement park. You feel it in most places in the small town of Anderbury… the fear that someone or something is watching you. It all started at the fair in 1986 when that accident happened. On that day, twelve-year-old Eddie met Mr. Halloran – Mr. Chalk. He introduced Eddie to the idea of an innocent game for him and his group of friends: using chalk drawings, they could leave messages for each other. It was quite fun – until the chalk figures led them to a body. A dead girl’s body, cut into pieces. This event has been indelibly etched into their nightmares. And thirty years later, they find a mysterious envelope in their mailboxes – with a chalk figure and a piece of chalk. The childhood boogeymen may still be able to kill. The Chalk Man, the debut novel by British author C. J. Tudor, is being released in 40 countries – as the book of the year.
